# Starlink, a private aeroplane internet service, is launched by SpaceX.

**With the launch of Starlink Aviation on Wednesday, [Elon Musk](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/85512/elon-musk-mark-zuckerberg-two-business-tycoon-of-similar-age)'s SpaceX is extending the reach of its [satellite internet](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/story/3057/first-satellite-internet) unit into in-flight WiFi services. [Customers](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/13008/how-does-a-customer-portal-enhance-the-experience-of-customers) can take advantage of the growing [competition](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/23460/5-ways-you-can-use-competition-to-your-benefit) for airborne connectivity by purchasing a $150,000 aeroplane antenna.**

**Customers looking for broadband internet on private jets will pay between $12,500 and $25,000 per month for the service, on top of a one-time $150,000 hardware cost, the** company said on its website. Starlink is SpaceX's expanding network of thousands of internet satellites.

**Reservations will require a $5,000 deposit, and terminal deliveries will begin in the middle of 2023, according to information on [Starlink Aviation](https://www.mindstick.com/news/2158/elon-musk-claims-that-spacex-cannot-indefinitely-support-internet-connectivity-in-ukraine)'s website**. According to the business, each terminal can deliver up to 350 Mbps, which is adequate for video chats and [online gaming](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/95819/why-investors-are-loving-the-online-gaming-market).

**Low-Earth orbiting satellite network builders like SpaceX's Starlink and Britain-backed satellite operator OneWeb are competing for airlines and private jet services in a sector dominated by [companies](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/85554/why-must-companies-have-a-profile-page-on-mindstick) like Inmarsat and its rival ViaSat,** which are planning to merge. Customers who want broadband internet aboard private aircraft will pay Starlink between $12,500 and $25,000 per month for the service.

**Hawaiian Airlines' planes willp get Starlink [internet service](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/12030/netgear-extender-internet-service-phone-number) starting in the next year thanks to [SpaceX](https://www.mindstick.com/news/2171/4-astronauts-are-returned-from-the-international-space-station-by-a-spacex-capsule).** The company already provides the service for RVs and marine users, charging $110 per month with a $599 terminal for [tens of thousands](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/86374/imminent-volcano-eruption-iceland-shaken-by-tens-of-thousands-of-tremors-in-one-week) of individual clients.
